Donald Trump looked awful.
B
Seriously ill demented. I mean horrific. Take a look. He's posting these photos of himself right now at an event he threw for himself to give himself a fake peace medal from FIFA. Yes, FIFA, which hosts the soccer tournament, or if you're not in the US the football tournament. Their corrupt head is colluding with Donald Trump to create a peace prize. The FIFA 2025 Peace Prize. And Trump threw an event with this guy and awarded himself the peace medal. Look at the photos of Donald Trump holding the metal. This is a dement. Look at this shot of him from the. That looks like it needs to be censored right there. Maybe we should censor that photo is the face is discolored, the hand is rotting, the flesh is falling off of him. And then look what he's posting. This sicko is posting sicko stuff. The CDC vaccine committee made a very good decision to end their hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for babies, the vast majority of whom are at no risk for hepatitis B. Why the hell are you talking about hepatitis B, Donald? You don't know what you're talking about. The hepatitis B rates have gone down 99% because of the vaccine. Why do we have these idiotic people, Donald Trump and RFK and this grotesque regime of grifters saying that hepatitis B should not be treated with vaccines in babies. These are the sickos who are killing our children and killing our country. Are you kidding me? And they create this fake medical board, the acip, which was previously made up of actual doctors and scientists who have been purged. And this is what you get while this idiot talks about requiring 72 jabs. The hell are these people talking about, by the way? Please subscribe to the Midas Touch YouTube channel. You know that we're under attack by the Trump regime by state regime media known as Fox. You may think you're subscribed to the Midas Touch YouTube channel, but the algorithm just may be giving you these videos because you search Midas Touch every day. So please make sure you're subscribed. Um, by the way, I mean, look at. He didn't know how to put on the metal in the fake award ceremony. Look, people are watching this and they are repulsed. Repulsed by this grifter, gangster regime. We see Trump's poll numbers collapsing right now. He is the least popular president in modern, or frankly, all presidential history. Young people hate this guy because they know that they've been rug pulled. Trump. Trump somehow convinced young people that he was gonna make everything affordable, that he was going to help them. No, Donald Trump's been a fraud his entire life. He's bankrupted this company, that company. I think if there was a Guinness Book of Records for bankruptcies, Trump would be at the Frickin top of it. I want you to watch this as the CNN pollster Enten talks about Trump's crashing poll numbers among young people. But frankly, he's crashing amongst every people. He's even crashing among white men. Okay, Trump's lost the white men o and they held on pretty fricking long. But Trump's crashing amongst every demographic group, which is why, by the way, I think when it comes to their gerrymandering in Texas, which they based on the fact that they believe the Hispanic population would be voting for more Republicans in Texas, I don't think so. I think after you've engaged in these horrific attacks on Latinos, I know you're switching it up right now to go after the Somalians because you realize, well, maybe we shouldn't be attacking the Latinos, but the American people, you shouldn't be attacking anyone, number one. But the American people absolutely despise this regime. Here's what Harry Entin says here. Play this clip. Huge.

I mean, just take a look at Donald Trump's net approval rating among those under the age of 30. You go back to February, it was plus 10 points.
B
Look at this drop.
G
I'm laughing because it's down to minus 46 points on the net approval. That is a drop of 56 points among voters under the age of 30. Any historical, historically analogous to this, this type of drop happening so quickly is just, you know, I spend my days in the spreadsheets. You just don't see drops like that.
B
And again, we've been reporting about the job loss numbers, right? 1.1 million job losses in 2025, 55, 54% more than under former President Biden. Right. Under Biden.
Record low unemployment, record job creation, 16 million jobs created under former President Biden. Under Donald Trump, it's been the reverse. But Trump's awarding him peace, peace medals and saying that he is in a golden age, that he's ushered in a golden age for the American people. Just watch this one FOX panelist, this guy, they used to have like a reality show too where he would help businesses. Anyway, this guy's on Fox and here he talks about the rising small business bankruptcies. And you'll recall what last month, according to the latest data, 120,000 small business jobs were lost. Here, play this clip.
H
I have to deal with this new data. We need to acknowledge that high interest rates and tariffs have affected small businesses hard. Stop. We need to acknowledge that. We also need to acknowledge that this subchapter five is an easy, quick, less expensive, keep Ownership of your entire business, flush the toilet and move on process. And typically when a company files bankruptcy, its creditors end up owning the business in A sub chapter 5, the Small Businesses keep ownership. So there is trouble in small business land around high interest rates and tariffs. That's a fact. And when those small businesses are dealing with higher prices, elasticity is an issue for consumers. They go other places.
B
Well, I have a question for the magazine out there. You're happy that Donald Trump's taken away your Affordable Care act subsidies? You know, one of the things, too, if you look at these Republican red states, a lot of them didn't agree to Medicaid expansion in the first place as well. So they didn't support Medicaid in their states when former President Biden was expanding Medicaid. Okay, so the red states, like, nah, that's too woke. We want to kill our people. They. That's not woke. That's how we show how great we are. Okay, this is freaking ridiculous. And then, so the Affordable Care act exchanges and the subsidies are how people have lived, especially in red states where they don't have Medicaid expansion. Like, if you think about it in Texas, for example, I'm gonna do a whole other video on Texas. You know, the, the average monthly premiums are gonna hit like $3,000 a month. No one's gonna be able to afford healthcare. And Greg Abbott's like, yeah, Texas, man, where you come to die. I mean, how utterly ridiculous. Just take a look at this stat here. 8 and 10, 8 out of 10 of those who have coverage through the ACA says Congress needs to extend these subsidies. What the hell are you doing, maga Mike? What the hell are you doing, Donald? This is life or death to people. Get serious, dammit. Here, play this clip.
D
About 8 in 10 of those who have coverage through the ACA said Congress should extend the tax credits. That includes 95% of Democrats, even 72% of Republicans.
B
Now, while all of that's going on, you had Marjorie Taylor Greene exposing the Trump regime. Marjorie Taylor Greene explained to 60 Minutes that Donald Trump was furious at her for calling for the release of the Epstein files. I'm not going to play the video because it was on 60 Minutes, but what I will tell you about what she told 60 Minutes is that Donald Trump said the release of the Epstein files, it's going to hurt people. You know, the people he's referring to, his rich friends and likely himself as Donald Trump. And MAGA Mike have said the release of the files could create new victims. And they consider the victims to be the rich men who are mentioned in the files, that they're the ones who are going to be victimized. How disgusting. Is that what the Trump regime is saying right now? But those files are supposed to be released soon pursuant to law. In fact, even a Florida court said they were going to release grand jury testimony because they claim that the statute overrides grand jury secrecy. We will see about that. You know, the Trump regime is going to make up something when that deadline comes. So we will be waiting for that. Now, few other important things that we need to discuss today together. One thing. Great reporting by Der Spiegel. You know, I'm a big Derek Spiegel fan. The German media company, the German paper, they obtained a transcript of a conference call of top European leaders and Zelensky warning of dirty American tricks to try to get Ukraine to give up all of Eastern Ukraine to Russia and to basically allow Russia to conquer all of Ukraine. Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, said that US Will betray Ukraine. Friedrich Merz, the Chancellor of Germany, said, the US Is playing games with you and us. Be very careful. Alexander Stube said, we mustn't leave Ukraine and Zelensky alone with these guys. You can't keep them in a room alone with the Americans. That's what the Europeans think about America right now, and rightfully so. I'm going to do a whole other take on this in 90 minutes, so please check back on our YouTube channel when I do this take. But the United States put out its national security strategy of the United States memorandum. And in it they say that their main priority will be the following. Cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory within European nations. In other words, destroying the European Union. This is official American foreign policy, cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory within European nations. America just declared war on Europe, basically. And again, I know this doesn't get a lot of attention elsewhere, and you could say, oh, Ben, you're being hyperbolic. Read what it says. It says, American foreign policy is cultivating resistance to Europe's trajectory within European nations, ending the eu. That's why the United States right now is at its weakest point internationally. And I think, you know, our former European allies, and it pains me to say that, because these are our real allies, are looking at the United States like these fricking war criminals, these Putin bootlickers, these disgusting animal. What are they doing over there? These crate. And it's, you know, it's Trump and what his regime has done to our country. And look what they've done to our country. More reporting about those boat strikes off the coast of Venezuela. Like you know the September 2nd, the 1st strike. You know where that boat was going? To Suriname. To Suriname. That's like in an area like it's east, it's going in the eastward direction. That's where the South American country, east of Venezuela. The boat was not even traveling towards the United States. It was going in the opposite direction. The intelligence was that boat was going to maybe meet up with another boat to potentially give. Cocaine. No. Fentanyl. There was potentially cocaine. The one boat was going to meet with the bigger boat. Wouldn't you want to know what the bigger boat was doing? You're going to kill the mules that are giving it to the bigger boat. Normally this would be an interdiction, but as opposed to a fricking war crime. Murder. And then we've learned that these survivors were for 45 minutes they were just like, they were waving their hands. Help. Basically help, help, help. And then the United States military. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. The military just killed them. Just killed them. People who were in the room who saw this video. One lawmaker, senior lawmaker. We don't know their identity cuz they spoke on background, said they basically vomited when they saw the video of these clear and present war crimes. And again, the boat wasn't even going in the direction of the United States. It wasn't. What are we doing? What the hell has our country become? This festering cesspool of Trumpy and shit. It's disgusting. And then Donald Trump sends his grifty emails. This isn't about photo or dinner. Did you receive my invitation inquiry? I picked Ben for my inner circle. Do you want to join the MAGA hall of fame? I'm establishing something historic for you. You have an inquiry? Hey, it's Donald. We need to talk. It's important. I've been trying to reach you. I have a big question to ask. Drum roll please. Should I host and do a meet and greet at Mar a Lago or Trump Tower? I don't freaking care. You know what you should do? You should make things more affordable. You shouldn't be ripping away people's healthcare. You should be extending the Affordable Care act subsidies. You should maybe figure out if you wanna have your own healthcare plan. Why don't you roll up your sleeves instead of awarding yourself stupid fake medals looking like a fricking fool. And maybe you wanna help Americans access healthcare. You know when you claim most favored nations clause that you're gonna reduce the price of healthcare so that prescription drugs are as cheap in the United States as the cheapest price that a pharmaceutical company charges in other countries. Why don't you do that instead of saying, oh, I've reduced the prices 1700%? No, you didn't. You didn't reduce anything 1700%. You're a fraud. You're a con. You're a grifter. That's what you've done your entire life. And it's utterly despicable and dastardly. And we're gonna keep calling it out here on the Midas Touch Network. Everybody, hit subscribe.

Episode: Trump Looks Horrible and Gives Fatal Blow to Himself
Date: December 6, 2025
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas
Podcast Network: MeidasTouch Network
This episode is a highly charged, fast-moving analysis by the Meiselas brothers, focusing on Donald Trump’s recent public behavior, plummeting approval ratings, troubling economic data under his regime, and controversial policy moves. The hosts weave humor and exasperation into sharp political commentary, emphasizing their defense of democracy and continued opposition to “the Trump regime.”
(02:31–06:41)
Trump hosted an event to give himself a fake peace medal from FIFA, an act the hosts ridicule as self-aggrandizing and bizarre.
The brothers describe Trump’s appearance as unhealthy and his conduct at the event as embarrassing.
They point out what they see as the desperation and delusion of Trump, referencing his social media posts and detached statements.
“Trump threw an event with this guy and awarded himself the peace medal. Look at the photos of Donald Trump holding the medal. This is a dement. ...the face is discolored, the hand is rotting, the flesh is falling off of him.” — (Brett, 02:45)
The brothers also criticize Trump for sharing misinformation about vaccines, specifically Hepatitis B, tying it to a trend of anti-science grifting among far-right figures.
(06:41–07:11)
Citing a CNN report, the brothers highlight the collapse in Trump’s net approval among voters under 30.
“I mean, just take a look at Donald Trump's net approval rating among those under the age of 30. You go back to February, it was plus 10 points. … I'm laughing because it's down to minus 46 points on the net approval.” — (Harry Enten, CNN, 06:41)
(07:11–08:52)
The hosts compare Biden’s economic record to Trump’s, emphasizing job losses in 2025, high rates of small business bankruptcies, and loss of Affordable Care Act subsidies.
They play a Fox panel clip on the financial struggles of small businesses.
“There is trouble in small business land around high interest rates and tariffs. That's a fact.” — (Fox panelist, 08:10)
The brothers deride Republican-led states for refusing Medicaid expansion and chastise Trump and Republican leadership for healthcare policy retrenchments that harm everyday Americans.
(08:52–10:22)
Discussion centers on the potential disappearance of Affordable Care Act subsidies and the dire consequences—especially for red-state residents who lack Medicaid expansion.
They quote polling numbers showing bipartisan support for subsidy extensions:
“About 8 in 10 of those who have coverage through the ACA said Congress should extend the tax credits. That includes 95% of Democrats, even 72% of Republicans.” — (Narration, 10:09)
(10:22–11:30)
(11:30–13:21)
Reporting from Der Spiegel is cited, revealing growing distrust among European leaders—Macron, Merz, Stubb—toward U.S. commitments under Trump, especially regarding Ukraine.
“Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, said that US will betray Ukraine. ...America just declared war on Europe, basically.” — (Ben, 12:17)
The hosts critique the newly outlined U.S. National Security memorandum, arguing its explicit policy is to foster resistance to the EU—a position they call tantamount to “declaring war” on Europe.
(13:21–15:20)
The hosts detail a controversial U.S. military incident: a strike on a boat off Venezuela, which, they report, was not heading for the U.S. and resulted in what is described as senseless killings after survivors pleaded for help—calling it a “clear and present war crime.”
“The United States military… just killed them. ...One lawmaker...said they basically vomited when they saw the video of these clear and present war crimes.” — (Ben, 14:30)
(15:20–16:47)
This episode is a whirlwind of news, analysis, and passionate polemic, delivering both relevant data and searing takes. Whether you’re closely following U.S. politics or want a window into how the MeidasTouch community processes current events, this installment is a signature example of their blend of comedy, outrage, and advocacy for democratic norms.
